That's actually not true. When you're designing your solution - which is 
the point that the OP is at - you should most definitely be considering 
efficiency. More often than not you cannot make an inefficient solution 
efficient without changing it fairly radically, so why not design it 
properly first?

It's much more correct to say, get an efficient maintainable solution 
working correctly first, then do your last little tweaks if necessary.
